Guy's written a short piece giving advice on how to instruct or lead a class. It's useful stuff for anyone who finds himself or herself in front of a group of eager swordsmen, and needing to give them something useful to do!
I'd recommend this in particular to Chris Chak, who's going to be in charge of some free training sessions. But really, all senior students should have a look.

I can highly recommend the article (what a surprise!).
The only little bit of addition from my own experience (and that was actually told to me by another teacher) is that it is often useful for the students to just see a demonstration again after having first tried it out - so you don't necessarily even need to give any specific corrections, but if you demonstrate again after the students have had a go in the exercise, it is much easier for them to understand and pick up the exercise regardless of whether you give make a general correction to them.
